New York - A car plowed into the main hall of a

Trump Plaza in suburban New York on Tuesday night, causing minor

injuries to two bystanders and the driver, news media reported.

The luxury residential property in New Rochelle is not where

U.S. President Donald Trump and his family have a residence, but

was widely reported by national media nonetheless.

A local ABC affiliate said the driver casually got out of

his Mercedes-Benz C300 coupe and sat on the sofa in the

building's main hall after the crash at 9 p.m. in the city north

of New York.

The crash appeared to be an accident and the driver was

being questioned by the police early Wednesday, NBC and other

media reported.

There was nothing suspicious about the crash, New Rochelle

police told local media.

"We would like to thank the first responders for their swift

attention to this evening's incident," a spokesperson for the

Trump Organization said in an emailed statement to ABC News. "We

are truly grateful to them for their service."

Neither a representative for Trump's properties nor the New

Rochelle police were immediately available to Reuters early

Wednesday for comment.
